Two Lauras. A photo a day - that's all we ask of ourselves. Laura McHugh (Mick) got through 2010 doing a photo a day with three others on the 4Women365Days blog, including Nancy Strachan West. The tradition restarted with Laura Morrison (Mo) in 2011. Nancy may post a photo with us as a guest.
We'll each post a photo every day this year, counting down to December 31, 2011.

Try as I might, my work cannot be contained to a single medium. If I had to narrow it down, I would describe it as the delicate and loving expression of ideas on or with paper. I work with ephemera - found paper such as old magazine ads, postcards and photos. My favorite go-to is the Sunday New York Times magazine. I like the graphics and the weight of it.

I work in encaustic wax, acrylics, oil and watercolors and make one-of-a-kind prints called monotypes on my printing press.

I have done commissioned pieces for clients and they usually cry - joyfully - when they get their pieces.

I take photographs as a way of exercising my creative eye and also as a source for my other artistic interests. Participating in photo challenges is a way for me to improve my photographic skills. Click on my photo to be directed to my art website.

Every day, I take a 2-mile walk with my golden retriever, Hailey, as a form of exercise for me, but more to exhaust some of Hailey’s abundant energy. On these walks, I often notice something that makes me smile or laugh, or something I find odd or interesting. I’ve started taking photos of these things with my iPhone to share with friends and family, so this year I decided to take these photos from my daily walks with Hailey and turn them into my Photo of the Day for 2011.

I am a photographer, traveler and animal lover. I love to look at the world in many different ways and to try to capture the world's uniqueness with my photography. When people ask me what kind of photography I shoot, it is difficult to answer. Depends upon the day, I guess. 2010 is the year I want to learn to use my photography with other art forms, like encaustic and mixed media (thanks Laura for your inspiration).
